James Suckling, 96 Points
"This is a really beautiful, with dried apple, pear and green melon, as well as some white pineapple. Cement and crushed stone, too. It’s full-bodied with a creamy texture and a flavorful, caressing finish. Energetic zest at the end. 61% Napa County and 39% Sonoma County. Drink or hold."
Wine Spectator, 91 Points
"Stands out for its fresh, fragrant profile, with fresh grated ginger, lemongrass and orange blossom notes and a core of mango and citrus flavors. There's a sleek, seamlessness here, and a mouthwatering finish."
Winemaker Notes:
"The Illumination is expressive and alive with complex aromas, bright flavors, and beautiful texture. On the nose, notes of grapefruit, kumquat, and guava are layered with floral notes of peach blossom, fresh herbs and hay, creating an immediate sensation of freshness. On the palate, the wine continues with flavors of stone fruit, lemon zest, and a distinctive creamy yet mineral texture. This wine is precise and bright, with a fresh and flavorful finish."
